20 Weeks ~ Half way there!


Here's my belly at 20 weeks. Don't ask why I'm posing this way. This picture took 8 tries and this was the best. I'm not digging the pictures of myself lately. We had our ultrasound today and no we did NOT find out the sex. We haven't found out with any of our kids and that's the way we like to do it. The due date is still June 5th and it couldn't come fast enough. The morning/afternoon/evening/night sickness is pretty much gone now but I still get it every once in a while. This time it lasted until almost 18 weeks! I've got a lot more energy now and even feel like I'm nesting at times. We've been cleaning and dejunking the house the past 2 weekends. Bless Dan's little heart for helping me.

I have back problems when I'm not prego but it is so much worse when I'm prego and this time it's the worst it's been. Thank goodness for my chiropractor who also happens to be my bishop. The only awkward thing about that is that I don't know whether to call him Dr. Miller or Bishop Miller. I usually say Bishop at church, Dr. at his chiro office and Jared when I panic and don't rememeber which to call him. My back and neck are doing a little better.

So people always tell me they need to be prepared when they have their baby so that's why they find out the sex. Well, let me tell you, I'm always prepared, right down to the a boy and girl name picked out including middle name. So with this baby we have a girls name, but are struggling with a boy name, so I'm up for suggestions because I want it picked before hand. We're leaning towards Isaac Bentley, but I'm not set on it yet. Any other thoughts?

I felt the baby move for the first time on Christmas Day and I was only 17 weeks. That is pretty early to feel a baby and the earliest I've felt mine. And it's been jumping all over the place since. At the ultrasound today, they told me my placenta was behind the baby so that is why I can feel it so easily. They couldn't get a very good view of the placenta so I have to go back for another ultrasound so they can check. Also, the baby was facing towards my back with it's belly right up against the placenta so they couldn't get a very good shot of the face, so they will be checking the mouth then as well. But everything else looks great! We got some cool shots of the baby.


This is the baby's leg and foot.
Baby's hand on the right and spine at the top.

This was the best shot of the face they could get. Face is on the upper right side with it's little hand by the face. Belly is towards the left side.
